When my father was forced to retire as a commercial airline pilot, the age was 60. Now it is 65. Full FAA physicals required every 6 months.

There is a reason.

Full FAA physicals required every 6 months.

For an 1st Class, (ATP) the medical certificate lasts 12 months if younger than age 40, 6 months over 40.
